Hello again,
U couldn't understand it or i couldn't tell
properly. i DID burn iso to my hdd. hdd=hard disk
drive :�
i got a virtual cd rom program. So i burned the
ISO image to my harddisk.I know it is naturally to be
burned to the cd rom but with my program i can burn it
to my hdd so i did burn it to my hdd. and then copied
the contents to a folder. Can i run the installation
from that folder and how , that's what i am asking.
Thanks.. take care
